What happened to the two rabbits in your backyard? Please don’t get another rabbit until you are able to look after the ones you already have  also if you are low on money perhaps it’s not the best timing?

If you get another rabbit and want to house them together they will need to be neutered. If you get another male the hormones will cause them to fight. If you get a female your two rabbits will quickly become ten. 

It is not a good idea to get another rabbit when you don’t have the money to spay/neuter and you cannot put unaltered rabbit together as they will either fight and kill each other or they will breed.

And you will most likely lose the affection of your current rabbit.

I still don’t think it’s a good idea. They will still become very territorial. I think you should just stick with the one rabbit.

Their is not an easy solution – you have to start by getting your current rabbit spayed or neutered.

I’ll be honest with you – I’ve have had many rabbits and am now down to 1 rabbit and I am enjoying him more now as a single rabbit than I ever enjoyed having bonded pairs or 2 single rabbits. He loves my attention and I have more time to spend attending to him.

No i want another one Please help me up with a solution ;'(

You have to be more mature about this. You already have TWO rabbits in your backyard that you have basically abandoned and are only providing the bare necessities for them to survive. Now you have a third rabbit that you can’t afford to get fixed. Getting a fourth would be highly irresponsible. As others have said, two unaltered rabbits CAN NOT live together. Before considering getting any more pets, rabbit or not, you have to resolve the situation with the two in your backyard. If you don’t want them, give them to a no kill shelter so they have a chance of finding a happy home. THEN, save up to have your third one fixed. Before all of this happens, you shouldn’t even consider getting a new pet.

As a pet owner you have to take responsibility for the lives of your animals. “But I wanna!!” doesn’t cut it. You do what is best for your pets. Your own wishes come second. If you are too young to understand this, you are not ready for this responsibility.

I am sorry, but I think it is definitely not the right time for you to get a new bunny. Bunnies take money, which if you are low on funds you do not have, and lots of time and patience. What happens if the new bunny has behavioural issues? Will you take the time to work them through them? You already said you will not get the new one fixed, that’s a source of behaviour problems right there. What if the bunny needs to go to the vet? Vets can cost a ton, and if you don’t have money for vet trips, the bunny is going to suffer. Please consider your current rabbit, get him fixed, start a vet fund, and make sure you have money and time for all his necessities before you even consider another bunny. It’s not fair to the bunny to just get rid of it because it’s messy, or grumpy. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide for and care for the animals they take in. It’s not a case of “I want it” but “can I care for it properly?”

What if you get a new bunny that you don’t like? Will you just send that one back to the shop too!?

I will probably get scolded for being so blunt, but are you really this dense and selfish? I realize ages cannot be revealed here, but if you are young I could understand the immaturity. But everyone is right – a second bunny is not a good idea. Learn how to properly care for and interact with the one you have currently. Enjoy his company. Bond with him. Being able to receive a buns love is so rewarding. Just watching them grow and develop and grow into their personalities is the best part. They are each so unique and show affection in different ways. You have so much potential for a bond with your current bunny. He deserves your commitment to his care and wellbeing.

I do not think you should get another rabbit.

If you want to interact with more rabbits then you should consider volunteering at a shelter with rabbits. You could give them love, company, and help with their care without having being financially responsible. It would also give you a chance to learn more about rabbits.

^^^^^^^^ THIS. ONE BILLION TIMES THIS.

Do not get another rabbit I had a 6 month old male rabbit I bought another which I was told was a female I put them together and my 6 month make rabbit attacked her straight away I kept them in seperate hutches and let them roam the garden together my male rabbit constantly bullied her and in the end I had to give her away. It turned out she was actually a male but it makes no difference really if you want two rabbits you should buy them at the same time.

 If you really want to get another bunny, start a bunny-savings account, and when you have enough to get them both fixed, maybe you can talk to your
parents

Enjoy your current bunny!!

And fellow Binky-Bunniers? You can stop now, OK? She got way too many responses harping/scolding on the same thing, if you will excuse the bluntness. I’m not excusing, but it really doesn’t seem necessary, thanks
